We are seeking an experienced Licensed Mechanical Engineer (PE) with expertise in HVAC and MEP system design for commercial and institutional facilities. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on the design, analysis, and documentation of mechanical building systems rather than project management.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in HVAC design and mechanical engineering and will serve as the Engineer of Record, leading projects from concept through construction while collaborating with architects, engineers, and construction teams. This position offers the opportunity to work on a diverse portfolio of healthcare, commercial, municipal, institutional, veterinary, and other specialized facilities.
Responsibilities- Design HVAC and mechanical building systems for commercial and institutional projects.
- Perform engineering calculations, HVAC load analyses, energy evaluations, and equipment selection.
- Prepare construction drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
- Serve as the Engineer of Record, providing technical leadership throughout design and construction.
- Coordinate mechanical system designs with architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, and other engineering disciplines.
- Review RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, and other construction-phase documentation.
- Conduct field investigations, site visits, and construction observations as required.
- Resolve design and constructability challenges by developing practical engineering solutions.
- Support commissioning, inspections, punch-list activities, and project closeout.
- Ensure all designs comply with applicable building codes, industry standards, and client requirements.
- Maintain high standards of technical accuracy, quality, and documentation throughout project delivery.
- Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required.

- Strong knowledge of HVAC load calculations, equipment selection, mechanical codes, and engineering best practices.
- Proficiency with mechanical design software such as AutoCAD, Revit MEP, or similar engineering platforms.
- Ability to independently develop, review, and seal engineering designs.
- Excellent technical, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary design teams.
- Hands-on mechanical design experience is required.
- Candidates whose experience is primarily project management without significant engineering design responsibilities will not be considered.
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Retirement savings plan with company contribution.
- Paid time off and company holidays.
- Opportunity to work on technically challenging commercial and institutional projects.
